[VR-4 0wnz j00]

I picked up a used, great condition, DNP downpipe for $180 shipped.

What do you think of this one? Looks stock tho. My pre cats are all ready gutted. Could I run this with no cat?

Not a very good flowing design. The rear port points straight into the downpipe instead of a nice smooth bend into the flow of the exhaust.

i had that downpipe when i was n/a. it worked, but i wouldn't recommend it for performance.

I'd just watch the parts boards on various 3s sites. I got a perfect Stillen dp for $160 shipped.
And I've had the pleasure of replacing several failed dp's with no flex section. All of them ebay pipes, I'm sure.

I have this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=200463874967 and it is very nice. Easy to install, flex section, confirmed Stainless, sounds awesome, and pretty much an identical knock off of Tenabe.

The only thing that I did was to spend $40 to have an exhaust shop play with the reveal of the drivers side tip. It was off by 3/8" - 1/2 " and bugged me...

So, the whole ebay is crap mantra is repeated paranoia of people not using the Buyer Beware attitude and getting ripped do to their own ignorance most of the time...

SEARCH, RESEARCH, ASK QUESTIONS, BUYER BEWARE....

This is what I have fitted to mine, even with the one flexi on I had add another on the front downpipe as it was putting a strain on the turbo exhaust housing, since then I've had no problems.

I have ran a Stillen D/P for 9 years now with no problems. The guy at the exhaust shop said it was on of the most quality pieces he has ever seen and said it would outlast my car. Almost a decade later, I guess he was right. Deletes cats and has flex section.

This looks great. Where did you get it? Did the felx section come with it or did you get it welded in?

I bought an ebay one and I wasnt very happy with it....It bolts up with strain on the turbos....and the craftsman ship was terrible...where the rear bank came down into the pipe had about a quarter inch to a half inch all the way around on the inside. So it was blocking flow. It was cheap though...You can have it for 60 bucks shipped . About 4k miles on it. It does have a flex pipe.
